A note about safety

The Church of Scientology maintains a disconnection policy that instructs members to cut contact with people declared Suppressive Persons, and has historically engaged in institutional responses to public critics. If you are considering leaving, please take time to plan carefully -- particularly regarding finances, housing, legal exposure, and family relationships. The Aftermath Foundation (aftermathfoundation.org) provides direct support for people leaving Scientology, including emergency housing and legal guidance.

This platform offers peer support and information, not therapeutic advice. If you are in crisis, please reach out to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) or Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741).
